SA U18 ‘A’ call-up for SWD’s Liam Lightly

Liam Lightly from South Western Districts has been called up as an injury replacement to the SA U18 ‘A’ team for the U18 International Series, which kicks off next week.

Lightly, a loose forward from Oakdale, replaces the Pumas’ Franko Rossouw, from Secunda, in the ‘A’ squad.

SA Rugby also announced a further change in venue for the opening round of the forthcoming series. Due to building work at Stellenberg High School, the first three matches scheduled for Friday, 8 August will now be played at Hoërskool Durbanville.

Match days two and three will take place as scheduled on Tuesday 12 August at Boland Landbou and Saturday 16 August at Paarl Gimnasium. The two SA U18 squads were named last week – click here for more.
